Our history
2020 is a year of great changes for Autronica. Thanks to significant company growth Autronica moves to Udine Nord, in the new and prestigious venue on via Nazionale in Tavagnacco, leaving its historical headquarters in Basaldella.
In addition, two new programmes are launched: the GTA Pro workshop management software and the Atelio Aftermarket International spare parts catalogue.
In June 2020, Infopro Digital Group goes public with the acquisition of HaynesPro, one of Europe’s leading providers of technical automotive data together with Infopro Digital Automotive.
The merger of Haynes with Infopro Digital Automotive, of which Autronica is also the representative for the Italian market, brings IPDA to the top of the world market in professional automotive aftermarket information.2020
In 2019, following the commercial expansion of the group and the evolution of its image at a European level, Autronica also changes its image and presents itself to the market under the new Infopro Digital Automotive logo, like all the other subsidiaries in the Automotive hub.2019
